In the 60s & 70s they started to knock down a lot of pubs. In the 80s only the White Lion, the Nest and the Malt Shovel survived the Muntz Street demolition. There used to be loads of pubs and loads of Irish in Small Heath. My favourites pubs were the Gunmakers, the Brighton and the Nest.

There was a 'cardrome?' on the Cov Road also. My late uncle was a security man there for a while, but I cannot remember the name, further up on the same side was Kwik Save, Tesco, and of course Woolies. Nat West Bank opposite.

I worked at Payne’s Shoe Repairs a few doors along from the Cardrome, back in the mid 60’s when I left school. We were next door to a shop which I think was called Lisa Marie or something similar.
